Severance Costs

On October 1, 2014, we announced cost-saving efforts that will result in a number of workforce reductions and layoffs across the Company. The workforce reductions are actions taken under our severance plan in connection with our continued focus on operating efficiencies. In accordance with ASC 712, “Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits,” we accounted for this liability in the third quarter of 2014 when the liability was probable and reasonably estimable. We recognized severance costs of $21.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $26.7 million in the first nine months of 2014, substantially all of which is related to these workforce reductions. These costs are recorded in “Selling, general and administrative costs” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 28, 2014, we had a severance liability of $28.6 million included in “Accrued expenses and other” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We anticipate most of the expenditures associated with the workforce reductions will be recognized within the next twelve months. See recent developments in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information.

Severance costs were $0.6 million and $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 and the first nine months of 2013, respectively.

Early Termination Charge

During the first nine months ended September 28, 2014, we recorded a $2.6 million charge for the early termination of a distribution agreement.

Pension Settlement Charge

During the first nine months ended September 28, 2014, we recorded a $9.5 million pension settlement charge in connection with a lump-sum payment offer to certain former employees. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the pension settlement charge.

Reserve for Uncertain Tax Positions

During the first six months ended June 29, 2014, we recorded a $9.5 million income tax benefit primarily due to a reduction in the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax positions.
